Referee Requirements for Nationals

It is a requirement of entry to the National Secondary Schools’ Volleyball Championships for each team to provide a VNZ qualified Regional (or above) Referee.

The nominated referee/s must be identified on the Team List (on line registration) with their level of accreditation. This will be confirmed by the VNZ Referee Development Manager. Additional qualified referee/s may be added to the team roster at the Technical meeting and are subject to confirmation by the Referee Delegate.

The nominated referee/s must attend the Referees Meeting at Nationals

The Referee Delegate at the Tournament will fulfill a mentoring and practical assessment role to assist referees wishing to upgrade. Referees wishing to upgrade must meet with the Referee Delegate and arrange a time to suit.

Teams must supply own whistles and ensure these are not shared.

VNZ supports students as 1st Referee. Where a school nominates students as referees, either the Team Coach or Manager MUST be present at the score bench for the duration of the team duty and wear the court bib provided to show the designated adult in charge of the duty team.

The Waikato Regional Volleyball Association's aim is to promote and foster all opportunities to be involved in Volleyball in the Waikato, King Country and Thames Valley.
